Related Recipes

This beautifully rich sauce was designed to crown the ultimate holiday sundae; spoon it warm over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a wedge of Frisch’s Pumpkin Pie for a most comforting effect. Drizzle it on top a baked sweet potato for lunch. Or, swirl it into a cup of creamy Greek yogurt for breakfast.

maple sauce cooking and serving tips

The better the bourbon and syrup you use, the better this sauce will taste. I like to use the dark amber maple syrup and Maker’s Mark bourbon.
